The UNSC Marines routed the neo-Communist Koslovics on the planet during a series of brutal conflicts in the 2100's before moving on to destroy the Koslovic and Frieden movements throughout the solar system.[2]

There, Colonel James Ackerson and his UNSC Defense Forces combated against the Covenant Loyalist Army, commanded by Jiralhanae Chieftain Lepidus, a battle the UNSC also lost.[3]
